When a person has conquered substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and healthy environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Potsdam are managed by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue randomly to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug rehab program.
